It looks like a restaurant on the outside but it’s also a hotel, so that is a bit confusing at first. The building is older but the room was clean bathroom was huge, had room coffee and bottled water, and the staff was very nice. Very close to the beach. The restaurant downstairs is popular. The area is very convenient although noisy at night because of its proximity to so many venues. Which is not a bad thing if you’re there to enjoy the nightlife. They also have a pool which I didn’t get to use but it looked cool. It had a clear wall so you could people watch. It’s a perfect place to stay in Miami Beach experience and for adults. I don’t know if they have a gym I didn’t ask.

This hotel lacks basic hospitality, proper security, and professional customer service. If you value peace of mind, respect, and reliability during your stay — look elsewhere. This experience was unacceptable from start to finish.

Great location. We had a suite with a balcony which was nice. The reason for my poor ratings no internet the entire time we were there. 3 people in the room but only towels and pillows for 2. The bell boy is very very kind. It’s a small hotel

The location was great and it was generally a good stay. The area is very nice (albeit expensive) and walkable, with lots of dining options, and right by the beach. The blackout curtains were great. However, I was charged an $80 reservation fee after arriving, during check-in. There was loud music until well after midnight. There were only two towels in the room; I asked for more and they weren't provided. There was no more hot water (in shower) around 10am. There was no chair or desk in the room. The bathroom door doesn't really close or lock. The king bed was two twin beds, so too short with a dip in the middle. Solidly 3/5.

The hotel was in a perfect location. The hotel staff was very attentive and friendly. It is a historic hotel so rooms need some updating The bed was very comfortable and the pool was over a stage allowing us to enjoy the live music. If you are looking to enjoy the Miami vibe this is the place. We had a great time!
